Jenkins working on pass rush skills

Known more for his ability to stuff the run than rush the passer, new Bears defensive end Jarvis Jenkins is determined to become a more complete player.

The 6-4, 315-pounder told reporters at minicamp this week that he’s working on becoming quicker and more active as a pass rusher in the team’s new 3-4 defense.

Jarvis Jenkins signed with the Bears after spending four seasons with the Redskins.

“Pass rush takes time,” said Jenkins, who signed with the Bears March 24 after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Washington Redskins.
